St. Patrick's Day

We decided at the last minute to throw together a little St. Patrick's Day dinner with Phil's sister Malissa and her {very} serious boyfriend! I swear they are the cutest couple!


We kept it very simple with just green accented things. So green sherbet drinks w/ 7up...


...with bbq chicken, pull apart bread, potatoes, and green beans. 


Then my aunt and I were talking and she gave me a rad idea to make a green edible fruit arrangement. So I got to work melting white chocolate to dip the fruit in lime green and dark green. I used this cute basket...
 

...and had the arrangement all pretty and sitting on the table. I used green grapes, kiwi, and strawberries. Only minutes before they arrived, the table was bumped and it came crashing down! I cried {only because I didn't take a picture first}! So the dang fruit {which I hate anyways} was grudgingly placed in this LAME dish and I drizzled the few remaining drops of chocolate over the top. Oh well! My husband said it still tasted great and in the end that's all that mattered!


We played a few games, including wii Mario Kart which was hilarious, and ended the evening with a yummy Andes mint dessert Malissa made!  So fun!

I am glad that I am not the only one to shed tears when something silly happens!
